Hey folks, we finally decided to call ourselves as Artistick. We hope to make you laugh, smile, look confused, puzzled, slap your hand on your forehead or plain bang your head against the wall at times

Our society will continue to fragment if this kind of distinction is maintained - where people are categorised and/or stratified based on religion, caste, etc. Our diverse country will remain unified only if we are homogeneous whilst retaining our culture

With the rules as they are, there doesn't seem any reason why people want to be in live-in relationships, when they are anyway being treated like a married couple, with the same rules being applicable anyway... So, they might as well go ahead and get married!

World Earth Hour is a ridiculous concept, because the awareness that is brought about by it is nothing compared to what is needed. Instead of switching off lights for one hour, and doing something good for only one hour of the day, we need to do every day continuously... Only then will there be any perceivable change and only then can we see tangible results... Most people are like the man in the green shirt, who did it because of all the hype around him

TOI conducted a poll with only Yes and No as the options - I think if they had given three options, this would have been the distribution. I think the media is going overboard trying to give us a lot of unnecessary information about redundant issues - Seriously, who the hell cares about someone's personal lives? I mean, at least it is not something we want to see everytime I switch to a news channel or go the front page of my newspaper...

Favourites

Character List

Sid:
Lead character of Artistick, an attempt is made to have him in every strip. Sid is smart - actually, too smart for his own good, and his friends love to get him into tight spots.

Tina:
The beautiful Tina is Sid's girl friend. With a red clip holding her ponytail, she loves hanging out with Sid... She's sweet, but gets jealous pretty soon. She loves shopping and gets distracted pretty easily.

Ramses:
The guy with the blue cap, Ramses is intelligent and often Sid's partner in crime. He's the quiet type, but a lot of things keep going on under his blue cap.

Keeg:
The guy with glasses, he's the geek (you guessed it) of the group. Keeg enjoys doing miscellaneous things in his spare time, from creating weird gadgets to executing complex programs and writing his original algorithms

Rahul:
Sid's best friend, Rahul is proud to be the guy with proper hair. His favourite passtime is thinking of ways to nail Sid down. And when is he's busy, he is actually executing his plans. Little does he know that Sid is not completely oblivious to his tricks.

The Boss:
The boss is a pain in the gang's rears. Most of the times, he ends up giving trouble to Sid. The boss isn't necessarily a boss, but represents the authoritative personality, like principal or dean of colleges, boss or manager of companies, and so on. And in Artistick, the boss has shown signs of driving on the wrong side of the road, if you know what I mean ;-)

You will come across various guest characters (as of now, not celebrities :P) such as the artist, policeman or doctor. Artistick aims to create characters using simple representative lines.
